Hubble and Spitzer image of Arp 148, also known as Mayall's Object. The thick clouds of dusty material in the edge-on galaxy (left) glow brightly in the infrared wavelengths of light seen by Spitzer (red), while starlight dominates the visible light from Hubble (blue and green). The edge-on galaxy likely crashed through its companion, creating a ring and triggering a burst of star formation. Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, STScI Source:

Gran Telescopio Canarias image of Arp 84, also known as NGC 5394 and NGC 5395. This interacting pair is sometimes called the "Heron Galaxy". The larger spiral, NGC 5395 forms the body and wing of the heron and the smaller, two-armed NGC 5394 forms the neck, head, and beak of the bird.

Kitt Peak image of Arp 78, also known as NGC 772. One of NGC 772’s spiral arms is particularly prominent. This is likely due to gravitational interactions with its companion galaxy NGC 770, the small elliptical galaxy in the center near the top of the frame. The interactions left NGC 772's bottom arm elongated and asymmetrical. Credit: KPNO, NOIRLab, NSF, AURA, A. Block Source:
